Summary/Abstract: In this article, we reveal, through a stylometric reading, characteristics of Coelho Neto’s style in Miragem (1895). In addition, we compare the style of the writer with the style of three contemporary writers: Aluísio Azevedo, O Cortiço (1890); Adolfo Caminha, Bom-Crioulo (1895); and Machado de Assis, Dom Casmurro (1900). The research methodology adopted in this study is supported by stylometry (Brandão, 2006, Cúrcio, 2006, 2007, 2013, Freitas, 2007, Paiva, 2013, Assis, 2013 and Silva, 2014) and dialogues, whenever possible, with the literary criticism directed to Coelho Neto and his work, mainly in relation to his style. Among our findings, we have found that the uses of adjectives, verbs, and adverbs in Coelho Neto’s criticism of the composition of his style are apparently normal when compared to the style of other writers.
